Intra-operative pinkish-red discoloration of urine: rule out anesthetic drug as a cause

Abstract

We present a case of a 60-year-old female, ASA physical status 1, who was posted for sacrocolpopexy for vaginal prolapse. Her all laboratory parameters were within normal limits. She fasted after midnight. General anesthesia was induced using injection midazolam 1 mg, fentanyl 120 μg, propofol 100 mg, and atracurium 30 mg for tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintained with oxygen, air, and sevoflurane. Foley’s catheterization was done under an aseptic technique without trauma.
